1. 1

   Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mash well with your fingers until mixed.

2. 2

   Shape some of the mixture into a walnut-sized ball.

3. 3

   Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil, add salt, drop in the dumpling, and cook for 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Taste to ensure that the mixture is the proper consistency: if it is too soft add a little flour; if it is too firm add a little milk.

5. 5

   Shape the rest of the dumplings; spread out on a floured tray; cook until soft and plump, about 15 minutes.

6. 6

   Drain gently and serve hot, drizzled with melted butter or dropped into a bowl of chicken or beef broth.
